End of the World Blues
03:05

This is the last chance
This is the last day
This is the last dance
And you’ve lost your way
This is the last draw
But the barrel is empty
This is the last straw
Emotions are running aplenty
It’s the end of the world
Hallelujah!
This is the last fall
This is the last call
This is the last crime
No more mamas cryin’
This is the last night
This is the last fright
This is the last war
Open up the last door
It’s the end of the world
Hallelujah!
This is the last show
This is the last song
This is the last time
And it won’t be long
This is the last child
That will ever be born
This is the last rain
Pouring in the last storm
It’s the end of the world
Hallelujah!
This is the last thought
This is the last word
This is the last conversation
And it’s absurd
This is the last life
This is the last death
This is the last taste
Take your last breath
It’s the end of the world
Hallelujah!
This is the last supper
Are you satiated?
This is the last error
To be annihilated
Nobody’s smilin’ anymore
Nobody’s lyin’ anymore
There ain’t nobody decievin’
Everybody’s leavin’
It’s the end of the world
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

Mr. Brown
02:32
|

Mr. Brown lives in fear
Won't leave his house
Stands by the window, looks outside
A cold wind blows
Leaks through the window
He steps back, closes the blinds
And goes back home where everything's fine
Mr. Brown has friends
On the tube
Pictures of another life
Mutters to himself
Canned soup on the shelf
Maybe one day he'll take a wife
And go back home where everything's fine
Mr. Brown is a clown
Rides into town
Rides into town in a coffin
Doesn't know where he goes
All that he knows
Is that he's happy to be shoppin'
And go back home where everything's fine
No one to blame this time

You got hard workin' papa, work his fingers down to the bone
Hard workin' poppa, work his fingers down to the bone
Why don't you come back mama, make this house a happy home
Workin' like a dog
For the man
If I'm not the best on the line
Then I might get canned
Doin' the same task
All day long
At least my mind had time to wander
To my favorite song
Won't you step into these workin' man shoes
I got the clock in, clock out, clock in, clock out blues
I went down
To Satan's mill
Got drunk with the servants
Till we had our fill
12 hour shift
20 minute break
My mind is hungry
And my body aches
Won't you step into these workin' man shoes
I got the clock in, clock out, clock in, clock out blues
Well, a friend told me we got to make a sacrifice
And another friend told me treat your brother nice
But one was resting on his laurels, and the other was chillin' on ice
Why don't they talk to me when they can take their own advice
Won't you step into these workin' man shoes
I got the clock in, clock out, clock in, clock out blues
I'm gonna get me a new job
The job of my dreams
I'm gonna get me a hammer
And tear down these machines
Won't you step into these workin' man shoes
I got the clock in, clock out, clock in, clock out blues

Land of Sleep
02:18
|

Made my descent
To a land of pleasant sleep
Had but just an hour
To pluck a lovely flower
Walked up to you, my dear
Plucked one of your tears
What am I doin' here
In a land of pleasant sleep?
What am I doin' in the chaos deep?
Inside the polypus
See its tangled roots
Build a City of Art
In the flaming ruins
What am I doin' here
In a land of pleasant sleep?
What am I doin' in the chaos deep?

Draw a Line
02:57
|
|||
You think that you know more than everyone, but you don't
You say you're willing to help anyone, but you won't
Draw a line in the pebble beach with your toe
You're not even seeing the last judgment as the trumpets blow
Draw a line, draw a line, draw a line
You can't take by force what is mine
You can't drink all my wine
You can't steal all my time
Draw a line, draw a line, draw a line
Who died and put you in charge of an angry mob?
You led them off to death as if that was your job
What makes your family so different from the ones
You treat like cattle with the butt of your gun?
Draw a line, draw a line, draw a line
You can't take by force what is mine
You can't drink all my wine
You can't steal all my time
Draw a line, draw a line, draw a line
It's quite a system of terror you've created
You may not have even fallen so far if you'd waited
You seem to think one day you'll come to rest
Do you think that love is intangible at best?
Draw a line, draw a line, draw a line
You can't take by force what is mine
You can't drink all my wine
You can't steal all my time
Draw a line, draw a line, draw a line

Priest
02:47
|
|||
Love unites
Pity divides families and nations
There is a place where love and pity are equally true
And they're blue
More than once your heart strings have been pulled
By those that seek dominion
Priest lays his curse upon
Joys and affections
Seek, and you shall find
How does your garden grow?
Ask a flower, she knows
Pluck a flower, another one grows
More than once your heart strings have been pulled
By those that seek dominion
Priest lays his curse upon
Joys and affections

Golden String
02:31
|
|||
Give you the end of a golden string
Still I've seen you wandering
Don't you know the stars are all coming back to my heart?
Let them reason and compare
Heal your disease if you dare
You've created all your hopes and cares
Weren't you there?
Give you the end of a golden string
Still, I've seen you wandering
Don't you know the stars are all coming back to my heart?

Don't Tell Me
02:14
|
|||
Don't tell me that you're just another soldier
Don't tell me that you're just following orders
Why would you put a cage around a bird
To suppress the song that you never heard?
Don't forget about the burning fire
That lights the way of every human being
You too my friend, must with the wind bend
When you come across the pits inside the cherries
Don't tell me that it just doesn't matter
Save me from your words that doubt and flatter
Why would you tie a rope around your neck?
To hang yourself here is what you seem to expect
Don't forget about the intellectual wheels
That turn furious day and night
You too my friend, must with the wind bend
When you come across the blossoms and the blight
Don't tell me that you just don't care
Or that you don't have a moment to spare
Why get caught up in the pyramid scheme?
Give me my hammer, gonna build up my dreams
Don't forget about the burning fire
That lights the way of every human being
You too my friend, must with the wind bend
You can't separate yourself from what you're seeing
You can't separate yourself from what you're seeing
You can't separate yourself from what you're seeing

Change
03:23
|
|||
Every time we change the system
The crooks will find another
Loophole in the system
To exploit their brother
Every time we change the system
The crooks all race
To exploit the new arrangements
And to save face
If you ask me where on earth
These crooks can be found?
I'll tell you they're in the highest places around
Change, change, change is coming too
Change, change change is gonna happen to you
Change, change, change are you pullin' through?
Change, change, change is comin' for you
